Inserting the rotor
Improper or improperly combined
accessories may cause severe dam-
age to the centrifuge!
The rotors approved for the
Biofuge primo
are detailed
in the chapter "Accessories". Use only rotors with this
instrument that are contained in this list.
To insert the rotor, you need the rotor, the cap nut and
the tubular socket wrench supplied (see chapter "Ac-
cessories – items delivered").
Possible damage to drive and rotor!
You may insert the rotor only if the
temperature of the drive, the rotor and
the cap nut is between 10 °C and
30 °C.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the lid and make sure that the rotor chamber
and the rotor are clean. Remove eventual dust, for-
eign material or sample residues. The thread and
the O-Ring on the motor shaft must be in perfect
condition.
2. Turn the rotor so that the notch for engaging the
drive shaft points downward.
3. Place the rotor on top of the drive shaft so that the
notch of the rotor is located precisely above the re-
taining pin.
